Every day, news articles appear that mention new, unfamiliar, but (now) important people, places, things, and concepts. Wikipedia can and should become a resource for background information on the topics behind current events.


As topics, new and old, become relevant to understanding today's news, please add links and work on stories about those topics. This will help make Wikipedia even more relevant and useful for visitors. For more information on contributing to this page, see current events article development.
